Summary: blue ant
Comment: The blue ant is very light weight. It is comfortable in your ear sometimes I forget it's in my ear. It stays in place where my old one I had to readjust it every 5 min. I have to turn down the radio in the car because people can't hear me they hear the back ground noise. Over all I love it

Summary: Comfortable, but bad sound quality. "Isolation" doesn't work.
Comment: I recently got a new job that has enough of a commute that I wanted a decent headset. I've had a bunch of cheaper headsets (<$30), but I finally decided I wanted a nice one. So I ordered one of these and a Jawbone II, intending to return one of them. I have read many reviews stating that the Z9i and the JBII are the two best headsets. Well, the Z9i falls far short of the JBII and it's being returned.
The Z9i looks nice and I find it quite comfortable. The fit is good, but of course that's subjective. When it's on, I can barely tell it's there and it's nice and stable. The generic micro-USB for charging is nice, and the firmware update ability (check yours, mine came with 1.0, 1.1 is out) is a good idea.
The effective range is about 3 feet with both my iPhone and iPhone 3G. Any more than that, and the sound starts to break up. That's pretty bad. Most other headsets I've had can go at least 8-12 feet before they start to have problems. The "noise isolation" levels are a gimmick. On the 'normal', default mode, it sounds like every other cheap bluetooth headset I've ever owned. It's fine when I'm in a quiet place, but just like every other one in a noisy environment (car, job-site, noisy stadium, etc). Lots of ambient noise picked up. On the 'max' mode, it does do a much better job at filtering out background noise - almost completely eliminating it. But it also does a good job at filtering the human voice too. It makes your voice sound much more digital and strange to the other person. It just ends up sounding like you're on a cheap headset again, or you're somewhere with poor cellular coverage. This is with the V1.1 firmware. I've had many problems with it just ceasing to respond to button presses as well. Just disappointing for the money.
The bottom line is that I have both the JawboneII and Z9i V1.1. When I'm using the Z9i, people often say, "are you on a headset?" or "what? I didn't catch that". In the exact same noisy environment, with the exact same phone, with the JBII people don't believe me that I'm still in that environment, let alone using a headset. If the Z9i were half as much money, it'd be a good deal. But for just a bit less than the simply incredible Jawbone, it's not worth it.

Summary: Average
Comment: I am disappointed in this product versus the rave reviews of others. I purchased this based on 5 star feedback but do not feel this lives up to the sound quality others claim. The size is petite and light perfect for women, not so much for men. I like the red color it's really pretty. Overall the most important quality of this earpiece is the sound. It is very poor. Everyone said they hear static and background noise and do not recommend use if you need to speak to a customer/client or on a telecall while driving. I found hearing the receiver hollow and difficult to adjust. Numerous times I disconnect the call by trying to turn up the volume and ended up bumping the silver section. I do not recommend this ear piece. I wish I picked the JawBone or Plantronic which I will need to get another earpiece for better sound quality.

Summary: BlueAnt Z9i headset
Comment: I recently purchased the BlueAnt Z9i as a replacement for my old bluetooth headset. I am very impressed as it pairs quickly and is so feature rich. The noise cancelling capabilities were the primary reason I bought it and it performs very well. It is light, very comfortable and looks pretty good as well.
Another reason for selecting it is the ability to upgrade the firmware to get further improvements in sound quality. I have to give this one a hearty two thumbs up!
